Project Description

The ALA Library Career Recruitment Clearinghouse was established in 2007 by the ALA Recruitment Assembly as a resource for individuals and organizations to share information and exchange ideas related to library career recruitment. Although the Clearinghouse meets some of the initial needs of library career recruiters, it is not well known and not yet the dynamic, interactive resource that is has the potential to be. The Recruitment Assembly requests assistance from the Emerging Leaders organization and usability, content development, and marketing of the Clearinghouse.

Expected Outcomes

1) The Clearinghouse wiki will be better organized and easier to use.
2) The Clearinghouse wiki content will be more robust and up-to-date.
3) The Clearinghouse wiki will be more dynamic with interactive discussion among individuals who participate in or want to learn how to participate in library recruitment.
4) The Clearinghouse will be better know to members of the library profession.
5) The Clearinghouse will inspire more people to participate in library career recruitment initiatives.
6) The ALA Recruitment Assembly will be better know to members of the library profession.
